Upper Part of a Statue Probably Depicting a Man

Middle Kingdom

On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 110

The head, shoulders, and upper torso of this small wood figure are preserved. Because of the hairstyle, it has previously been described as a depiction of a young woman, but the lack of breasts and patches of light red color suggest it more likely to depicts a man.
